came unintelligibIe, his gestures incoherent ;
he pulled the tongues of his ministers when
ever they bothered him about business. Dur
| ing the evenings he played at dominoes, but
the poor man cried like baby when he lost
a game, and cheated like a pickpocket
When the dauphin became of age he be-
gan to govern. But being so near-sighted
| he mistook officers for soldiers at the reviews
| and smelt more smells than he saw sights!
He could not even see the paper he wrote
upon, and once wrote letter of coincidence
to neighboring, just widowed, Queen upon
the back of warrant for the arrest of a
scolding woman.
The King thought: "My poor son is too
blind to reign alone. We must find him a
wife, serious, intelligent woman capable of
taking the direction of affairs"
These wise reflections utterly exhausted
the reflector. After nap he called his
ministers together and inquired about mar
riageable princesses. They unanimously
advised the Princess Bayonette.
"She is beautiful and good" they said.
"She always goes to war with her royal dad,
and is therefore brave and she will inherit
the duchy of her pa
The King who had never studied geog
raphy, desired to see that duchy on the map.
A green triangle was pointed out to him.
81 suppose she is green" he said with some
thing like howl; "but never mind, the
dauphin is too near-sighted to find it out"
The day of Princess Bayonette's arrival
the dauphin became very much excited, for
he heard everybody about him exclaiming:
"What beautiful hair! What red lips!
What fine eyes!"
Madame he exclaimed, ito inspire me
with eternal love for you it is not necessary
to see those beautiful eyes and hair, those
red ipsv'
The answer was a whacking cuff of the
ears. He had addressed the old and hideous

Princess Bayonette's governess. The princess
burst out crying and insisted upon returning
to her own duchy. The courtiers ran hither

Knows the standing, scope, and status OF

and goes it blind.
But her husband, helpless sinner, eats his
bread and water dinner, luckless fellow
in the cellar, thro' his lone dyspeptc

IT'S said when woman rules man
She does so in such artful way

And thinks to serve her is but play.

Yet still I think my burdens light
AS murmuring would be in vain.

And nurse the babies half the time;
These are but sugar-coated pills,
That man gulps down in every cline.
And so she plays her queenly role;

Along lifes road pay the toll,
While she but holds the reins and drives.
Oh, yes, she rules. But tell her so?

COMMU NISTIC MEMOIRS.
A Distinguished French General Tells
What He Knows.
TISDeciQl CorresD0ndence.1

SUecLQt COTTeSpOHueHCe
General Cluseret, the distinguished French
veteran who, after winning laurels in all
parts of the world, was for time Commu-
nistic war minister, has published his Me
moirs.' He brings before us in quite graphic
way the men and things of the Commune as
he saw them-the incapacity, disorder, jeal-
ousy and treachery which brought about
the downfall of the rebels. He arrived in
Paris on March Is, and found everything in
state of dlsorganization. Of all the can
mons on the Place de lHotel de Vile only
four could be fired but there was not ammu-
milton wherewith to fire them. There
was no cavalry worthy Of the name, but
in the infantry he found good soldiers,
with Indifferent officers. The leaders
knew something about politics, but nothing
as to military matters. They ere impromptu
generals covered with gold lace and stars.
Bergeret Asst, and other functionaries were
vain peacOcks, who passed their time in strut
ting about to show their decorations, and or
ganized feasts and merry-maklngs, for which
the Commune had to pay. ROssel, who sue
ceeded to the war ministry on Cluseret' ar
rest, resembled somewhat "a Puritan of the
seventeenth century except in morals;
military and amorous Robespierre, an excel
lent officer, a despiser of the people, and
would-be imitator of Bonaparte, if not Ma
poleon.'
The Pole Dombrowski was "brave with
some Of the good qualities and all the faults of
hi srace. He might have made clever colonel,
but as a commander-in- chief he was incapa-
BILE" But the most incapable Of all the men
who directed the military affairs of the Com
mune was the Jacobin journalist Delescluze.
The Communards set Cluseret at liberty
when the regular troops entered Paris.
He at once went to the war min
istry and found Delescluze alone in
the yellow saloon which had been the
bed-chamber of Eudes' wife Nothing so
dismal as that endless obscurity, melting
into the yellow tints of the drapery In one
corner little table little lamp and a little
old man. 1t was Delescuze. He held his
shriveled up. The carpet deadened the
sound of my footsteps, and for moment
contemplated that human ruin; the last Of
the Robespierre Jacobinlsm was I'M agony

What is DombroWski doing?'
"'Nothing.'
And that's all, then?'

is not a word of truth in Dombrowskl's re-
ports. His famous sorties are lie. we

ever occupied your attention. That is why,
sire, you do not know that there exist glasses
having the power of bringing all objects
near and making thus near-sighted person

this pair of spectacles at your feet"
While the old man was speaking Crick
stole march upon the dauphin, and soused
his nose with Elixir of the Desert. Slowly,
slowly the proboscis came crawling home
from its journey and took up its natural po-
sition. Then the old man placed the spects-
cles astride the nose and the delighted dau-
phin shouted

the happy Bayonette, "your nose is so hand

sleeping peacefully beneath the shade of his
crown in the garden. They awoke him; he
reejoined his son and the princess, who ex-
claimed loudly:
PA has great many soldiers and he will
declare war against Perruque and defeat
Princess Bayonette's fathers daughter with
impunity."
Perruque, with knees knocking together,
fastened to explain to the enraged woman his
sons nearsightedness. Not being more hard
hearted than princesses and governesses gen.
orally are they pitied the young man.
They both kissed the red spot the mar

The Poets.

E. G. Stedman's study in his New Hamp-
shire home is a small upper chamber in the
tower, with deep casemented windows look
ing every way but to landward Eastward IS
the ocean, with its white-maned coursers
rolling in, and the eternal plant of the smlt-
ten crags. Some of the best work OF the poet
in recent years has been done in this little
room, alone with sea and sky. He devotes
his mornings to it. The afternoons are re-
served for social misunderstanding and fish
ing, rides into the stored lands about HIM,
and strolls through the romantic lanes and
along the sounding beaches of the island.

Next morning King Perruque's subjects

Next morning King Perruques subjects
read in the Royal Gazette:
"After the splendid fete given yesterday
by our well-beloved monarch dreadful ac-
cident occurred, which has plunged his serene
and majestic soul into despair.
1--WE all know how valiant our sovereign is!
Last night upon retiring he forgot, being
fatigued, his usual practice Of poking the
sceptre under his bed
"Alas, what tragedy might have been pre-
vented had he been less brave!
About midnight woman miniature
Judith, stole from under that couch. Our
King never SHORES with both nostrils at once,
being a vigilant sovereign, and he became
quiet enough to see that the woman was
armed not only to the teeth, but even to the
heels and finger nails. She was all pistols,
daggers, bottles of vitriol, shillalahs, bowie
knives, and our monarch saw that she meant
his death. In the desperate struggle that en-
sued tables were overturned, chairs broken
into smithereens, curtains torn, windows
ground to atoms-chaos was come again.
The stony-hearted woman kept 100 pistols
and 102 bowie-knives pointed at the royal
head but each time, with truly Perruquean
agility, he avoided them. Suddenly the
dauphin opened his eyes. He saw the peril
that menaced his father. He sprang upon
the assassins.
"a score Of pistols went off!
nineteen Of them grazed the dauphin's
nose just as the police guards rushed in.
Our King is saved!
Nevertheless pity him, devoted subjects
He would have preferred death a hundred
times rather than the calamity that over
whelms him. The flame from the pistols
burned the eyes of the dauphin, who is now
nearly blind"

received every day numberless designs for
locomotives, Geographic instruments and fly
ing machines. The designs were not anus
ing and he gave them to the Queen for curl
papers. The dauphin used them also for
paper boats. The consequence was that all
the inventors left the kingdom.
Perruque read in the papers that the sub
jects of neighboring sovereigns were always
making inventions. He became angry at
the non-inventions of his own people, and
complained of it to his ministers. The next
day the minister of public instruction pre-
sented him with coffee mill. 1t was an ex-
traordinary coffee mill. A super-extraordi-
nary coffee mill Its marvel was that it was
spherical cage crossed by horizontal axle.
This horizontal axle was fixed to the vertical
axle of the mill, so that when one revolved
the other did also. When it was necessary
to grind coffee all one had to do was to place
squirrel in the cage. The animal, by hang
ing to the bars ofits cage, caused it to revolve;
thus, with the aid Of the axles. grinding the
coffee. What stupendous invention! How
worthy the minister of public instruction in
so wise kingdom as that of the far-seeing
Perruque!
VII tnC pIcoSutSu W tliC IAluS was
the inscription, Utility and Amusement"
For was it not useful to have coffee ground
without trouble? Was it not amusing to see
the squirrel climbing about like the devil
caught in trap?
Nextday Perruque issued an address: 1--WE
had supposed our subjects all fools. One of
our ministers has treasured us. The nation
which has produced man capable of con-
ceiving such coffee-mill is indeed great
one. This invention shall be the glory of
our reign. We therefore grant to the in
ventor 300 golden pieces"
The new mill became all the vogue. No
family was without it; children cried for it.
To commemorate it's invention the King gave
grand ball. When it was over every one
left the sovereign's presence with his tongue
In his cheek.
Perruque thought it was in admiration of
his royal far-sightedness which had recog-
nized at sight the value of the coffee mill.
